Game 2 report

Some pics of the long car ride there.

Taken as the sun came up.

a hour later

another hour later

almost in Miami. Driving through the everglades is a little boring....

Right before I took this shot the GPS said I was 3 feet above sea level.

Finally I get there a half hour early, all alone assembling my true born that decided to dance all over my truck bed.

Alright enough about the trip. On to game 2.

Ok did I mention how much I hated the terrain? I couldn't simulate how small the pieces were in vassel. It doesn't have pathetically small pieces like they had there. So rant off here it is.

So here's the map. 3 small ruins, a pipe, and a tower in one deployment zone. I won the roll chose to go first, and took the lower deployment zone.

So I scrunched up everything behind that tower with the beasts on the flanks. Then the grey knight player said hes reserving everything.

Here's a shot of me zooming around during the first 2 turns so I can get cover saves. It also shows the terrain in all of its glory. I think its sad when my can of chew could double the cover saves on the board.

So after zooming around here's where I ended up when he got to drop in. Everything has cover from going so fast and the beast squads are there to extend the bubble he cant drop safely in.

So he rolls and two units of terminators come in on the flanks. His shooting isn't so effective bouncing off of flickerfields and immobilizing one venom.

So from splintercannons and the beasts charging the terminators evaporated. Yay for rending.

Now the rest of his army shows up. The storm raven belches out the purifiers, another unit of terminators, the paladins and grand master drop in, then the strike squad falls in between them. Game on!
The shooting blows a raider, immobilises another vemon and bounced off a lot of flickerfields.

So in this turn... Wrecked the storm raven with a blaster round from the trueborn, splinter rounds dropped over half of the purifiers, Then in the assault the beasts on the left assaulted and broke the terminators. The beasts on the right assaulted what was left of the purifiers and oops i forgot about the flame power. I lost half on the way in, killed 2 purifiers and he killed 3 more beasts. I lost by 8... dammit. Well they broke and ran while he swept toward the right flank to engage my trueborn.

The terminators keep running. The palidins and strike squad move up and started blasting. Blowing 2 raiders and a venom.

Moved the beasts to escort the terminators off the board. With help from a crap ton of poisoned shots the archon and wyches got out of their ride and wiped the strike squad. a disintigrator round and more poison dropped a single paladin.

The paladins move up into the ruins and assault the warriors outside the raider easily killing all of them. And over on the right flank the purifiers just cant kill the trueborn. Slap fighting FTW!

So here is the assault that happened on turn 6. I had the archon and a nearly full beast squad bearing down on the paladins. I had him dead to rights I thought. He rolled his psychotropic grenade. And got a 6. DAMNIT!. So my squads tore themselves apart.

So at the end of 6 sigh his paladins are still there and my trueborn finally die off on the right.

So here is the end. Right down to the wire. I was able to get just enough shots in to finally make him fail enough saves to drop the paladins. Then the disintigrators off the remaining ravager wiped the rest of the purifiers.

So after getting massacred, slow played, and generally whipped in the first game. I tabled my opponent in under 45 mins. I feel bad about this win because I was so frustrated from the first game that I was a little on the ruthless side. Dude if your out there reading this I'm sorry I'm not normally like that.

So after this game I'm still sitting in the middle bottom of the pack. We break for lunch and when I come back I see that I have been paired up against the world famous Black Blow Fly and his Dragiowing.

I'll post a report about that shortly if he doesn't beat me to it.
